starting COC post-POP (with secondary amenorrhoea)
Last reviewed 01/2018
The combined oral contraceptive can be started (ie switched to) at any time. No extra contraceptive precautions are required in the first 7 days after the switch.
If there is a possibility of pregnancy, then follow the protocol (described in the linked item) before starting the COC.
